The winner of 2022 Unbound, Ivar Slik, was 37th.
Spinergy GX's with new 2021 rear hub for 499.00 is hard to beat.
Do the GX's have the new rear hub?

I had never encountered anything like it before either and I'm beginning to think you are right about skipping it when conditions are like that. The first race was red mud and that was not so hard to remove but the…
The pads wear mainly from the immediate clogging of mud or sand between the pads and the rotor. You start to hear the grinding before you even use your brakes in those conditions. The red mud I could clean out of the…
If I was not so late in my cycling cycle ( I'm old) I would definitely invest in an ultrasonic cleaner for chains and cassettes.
Sounds like a good plan. Thanks!
It's has more than two 50 mile muddy rides but still should have a lot of life left. The sand form the last sloppy ride set up like mortar, hard as a rock, and I keep finding hardened sand on the inside of the chain.…
I guess what I'm asking is can a chain measure within the allowed specs (it does) and be damaged in some other physical way? It's just in my head how abrasive all that sand was.
I have put my chain through two rides of about 50 miles each that involved riding through mud and sand that completely coated the chain. Was wondering if a good off the bike cleaning is good enough or if sand can do a…
I too had to change out the saddle first thing. Looks nice but for me incredibly uncomfortable . Not a fan of the bars either but they'll do. On pavement I first noticed handling feels different from a road bike, not in…
You might do a search on Russian titanium bikes. They are supposed to be good at this at good prices. Check out Triton Bikes.
It's an Adventure Bike that you can race.
I have a set of 650b x 45 and 700 x 40 for my GR270 and enjoy them both. The 650's are lots of fun on the more technical stuff and the 700's are better for pavement. One of the things I was looking forward to was my Ti…
You might take a look at Litespeed. The brand that Lynskey started. I've always wondered why none of the much more expensive boutique brand Ti builders don't even offer anything other that 3/2.5. I would prefer it over…
I have a Lynskey GR270 and I do like it. I too had to wait for mine due to waiting for parts to build it although not as long as you are having to wait. My big problem with Lynskey is they ding your credit card as soon…
Might check out Spinergys. With their current 20% off you can get the alloy GX rims for 479.00. I like mine.
I still have an '03 Ti Litespeed with the xaero lites that came on it. I still ride this bike regularly and they have never gone out of true. I have serviced the rear hub 3 times but that was something I could easily do…
This is a total hack but works pretty good. I bought a 5" x 1000' roll of stretch wrap at Home Depot for less than 10.00 and wrap my shoes in it. Durable stuff. I can even clip in my spds without having to cut a hole…
